In Light Of Ahmadinejad 's Remarks Have You Ever Met A Gay Iranian?

I knew one who used to spin records at the Zodiac lounge in Daytona Beach...That and the Pandoras Box were the only gay clubs in Daytona Beach in the early 80's... He had come here to study on a student visa ... I doubt he went back.

how do you know they are gay?

The subject never came up with Iranians I've known.

Now I don't know what most folks do behind closed doors...

... I myself haven't the slightest whether I've met any or not.

What does it matter here? Try taking this poll in Iran where it matters.

I suspect if someone's gay in Laramie, Wyoming that same person would be gay in Tehran, Iran....

I don't think the disc jockey I knew became gay when he moved to Daytona Beach...

I thought he said their were no gays in Iran. So your poll, asking about anyone knowing gay Iranians, only applies to those in Iran. See what I mean?

I doubt he is unaware of gays in Iran given the fact that his government has hanged a couple...

A few of them told me they never had any problem hooking up with men in Tehran.

gay Iranian children hanged.

I'm posting the rated G version.

rated G version.

of the nooses hanging from the trees of the jena 6, just saying horrible attrocities happen everywhere even in america

eom

just saying horrible attrocities happen everywhere, do you propose attacking iran to change their political policies?

Congratulations

the US deals with horrible people everyday and in facts prop them up to create instablity, the US is responsable for so many horrible things both directly and indirectly that the fact that one country with a small population is under a thriving economy, unfortunatly some of the citizenry are dispised by the religious political orginization is very unfortunate. The fact that people are now bringing this up and making it a talking point is furthering the war talk agenda, we should dispose of him because of what he does, what about africa? people are dying of neglect in the MILLIONS, what about saudi which is like IRAN on meth, what about alot of S american countries where the gov is more of a suggestion. What i'm saying is that it sucks to be gay or a women in iran, what sucks even more is if this issue supercedes all the other unfortunate events happening now and gets us into another war. What do you propose we do to combat this terrible affliction and horrible dictator? I propose we concentrate on ourselves first before calling the kettle black.

There is nothing laudable about the Iranian or Saudi leadership...

in fact i deplore it, but thats all were gonna do unless you want to get into another quagmire and play kingmaker. and my point is that unless all were gonna do is talk about how awful it is all we are gonna do is play into the war mongers hands and give them excuses to attack.

I also think it's in direct violation of the United Nations Declaration Of Human Rights which Iran and Saudi Arabia are signatories to...

surely you jest, those in power will not change their ways because some people look down their noses at them. and if we havnt taken our names off that list we are right up their with iran and saudi arabia, only we do it with more Panache.

I guess I'm old fashioned.

To answer your question, I have only met two Iranians (one of whom is actually Iranian-American) and as far as I know, neither was gay. The one who was actually from Iran was Jewish, so any blanket statement about Muslims will not apply to him.

That was in response to a question about persecution of gays in Iran...

:sarcasm: :banghead:

eom

but those weren't covered by Ahmadinejad's remarks.

A few bisexual Iranians too.

Thank you YOY!

I dare anyone to tell me otherwise!

and love their soundtrack on highlander

"just gimmie the prize"

...and I almost turned her gay.
